Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Gurgling up from the depths of hell, the first straight punk-rock record from the Supersuckers since 1995's Sacrilicious has only four things on its gloriously infantile mind: drugs, sex, fisticuffs, and boozy, rip-roaring rock & roll. "Forces" uses the formula to unleash the finest example of tongue-in-cheek, perpetually adolescent, head-banging chaos this side of the Ramones. After 1997's all-country Must've Been High, the boys do seem to have picked up some additional songwriting skills, as this set is virtually filler-free and packed with choice, catchy riffs. "Hot Like the Sun" starts off as a typically dirty-minded ode to the sexual chase, but then downshifts midsong into grungy minor chords and dark melodicism as lead singer Eddie Spaghetti explores a more somber take on the song's title. Still, the emphasis here is on exploiting the Supersuckers' unholy, take-no-prisoners approach, imbuing lightning-fast scorchers like "I Want the Drugs" with their particular guitar-driven mojo. Nobody's supposed to make punk music rock like this anymore, but when these guys are on their game, it's a given. --Matthew Cooke

4.0 out of 5 stars The Supersuckers are back from their country stint..., November 16, 1999
By Josh (Fairfax Station, Va) - See all my reviews
The "Evil Powers Of Rock and Roll" is an excellent return to the path of evil for Satan's Cowboys. From the opening chord churning, and Eddie's proclamation "Got evil blood and a twisted mind" to the finishing " I will go down burning and yearning, alright, you'll be there too" the Supersuckers plow through 35 minutes and 2 seconds of gut wrenching rock and roll. Sit back, inhale the smoke of hell, and prepare to blast into the southwest. Chock full of sex, drugs, and violence. Awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fall to Your Knees and Hail the Evil Powers of This Evil CD, November 28, 2001
By mptesteroni (Preparing to mount) - See all my reviews
How much do I love the Supersuckers? When I was stationed in Arizona I once drove 70 miles to Tucson just to get a picture of me standing on the front lawn of Santa Rita High. I saw these guys first in 1992 opening for L7 (oh, the humanity), and bought Smoke of Hell the next day, and wondered what could possibly top THAT. Then I got Los Manos Cornuda and said Holy Horned Hands, what could POSSIBLY be better than THAT!?! THEN Sacrilicious Sounds came out and just hearing "Born With A Tail" ONCE had me vibrating on a nirvanic plateau, a cresting and falling euphoric waveform which seemingly had no end (even if "19 Most Powerful Woman In Rock" put some turbulence into the approach pattern) and obviously, thought I, there can be no top for that. (...) I mean, I just don't know where to start... Okay, the title track, number one on the disc with a bullet to your brain, lays out the lay of the record's land in insidious Sucker style, and Oh my soul it's had a hold on me since play one. (...) And fret not, friends-- there is no "filler" on this album. None, nada, zippo. This is All-American Grade-A red meat ROCK with the blood from each cut oozing all over the plate. "My Kickass Life" cuts loose swingin' with all the gusto a loud-mouthed crackhead in an awesome rock combo like Spaghetti should. "Going Back To Tucson" is the tale of all those roadtrip moments where you're goin' home and something's gnawing at you, you're mulling over the shoulda-beens and near regrets you ever had back in the day as the landscape speeds by and the hot sun glares, only to finally say (forget about it) and crank up the radio. It also refocuses the enigma spotlight on Eddie-- what happened in his dark past that made the band leave Arizona for Seattle, and is it related to the tragedy of "Marie" from Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers? I wanna know! "Fisticuffs", "Dead Meat" and "Gone Gambling" comprise the unholiest tripych ever torn from the pages of White Trash Living Magazine; if "Doublewide" were on this record you'd have a (...) grand slam. Eddie and the boys are (as always) the cocksure, arrogant, swaggering, self-loathing juvenile delinquent Masters of their own destinies we all aspire to quit our day jobs and be, and funny as all Hell to boot. Pick this (...) up today, hoist your horned hand high and ROCK OUT!

4.0 out of 5 stars No ballads in sight...This one rocks HARD, June 21, 2000
By "pissingmeoff" (Ashburn, VA United States) - See all my reviews
So, I'm in the record store looking at the new Supergrass CD when I spy Evil Powers. I've heard of the Supersuckers before, but never actually heard any of their music. I look closely at the cover. The title brings a big grin to my face. Then I notice 8 Marshall stacks and 2 Ampeg bass stacks. Plus a crazy looking dude in a cowboy hat. OK, this looks promising. Buy the CD. Rip it open and put in the car stereo. The opening riff of 'Evil Powers' kicks in. 'Got evil blood and a twisted mind...'. This CD just rocks hard from front to back. Not a weak track here. 35 minutes of bone crunching riffs, rapid fire barre chords, snarling solos and humorous lyrics. About as un-PC as possible. Which is a good thing. One last comment. The CD is mixed so that it sounds good even of crappy stereos. It's a low, bass heavy mix with thick, distorted guitars. Crunch is the best word I can think of. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
